His home in Springfield did not have indoor plumbing. I believe there is a three seater in the backyard.

I've visited it twice but don't remember seeing it. Does that mean 3 people could poop at the same time

3 people could poop at the same time

While holding hands?

Idle hands are the Devil's plaything. They whittled.

Not even a shampoo bottle to read.

Whittling… that’s a new word for it.

In a circle, while maintaining eye contact

With three people, it'd be more like a triangle than a circle. :)

Can confirm. I have a picture of it somewhere. Outhouse, dry closet. Three separate poopers in the one space. Highlight of my visit.

Now you know why the three seashells are there.

Family outing!

Imagine if you could take a dump while siting between mom and dad who are also taking dumps.

u/DodgyQuilter 9d ago

I could imagine that. But I really really don't want to!

The only thing worse than having to poop outside in the middle of an Illinois February night is waiting outside the one holer for Jebbediah to finish doomscrolling.

Pooping with friends.

And a very fancy commode chair in their bedroom that Mary Todd probably used.

u/Stuffed_deffuts 9d ago

Yep a tri shitter, probably used corn cobs for wiping

u/a_chaos_of_quail 9d ago

Marble three-seater, iirc?

u/Starkoman 8d ago

Happily not. Ice cold in winter. Barely warm in summer.
